ELOS mini questions

[atlweb]

Hey everyone,

 

Hoping I could get some help with my new elos mini.

 

• My new elos mini overhangs the stand, is this normal? It basically sits flush with the door, but obviously isn't supported by the door.

 

• Does anyone have a diagram or pictures of their sump for plumbing? Debating between hard and soft and would love to see some setups / advice on plumbing. Haven't had to plumb a tank in several years!

 

• Does anyone run chaeto in one of the chambers? Any other advice on the tank setup?

I know the tank overhangs as I've had a friend that has had one for years,that's normal.

Yes the tank over hangs it's normal. Plumbing a Elos is simple hook up the blue pipe with the clamp for the drain. Then hook up the vinyl for the return pump and it's finished.

I can't seem to get the skimmer dialed in well. It just shoot water straight to the top immediately.

 

Also, I'm missing the return hose that goes into the display (pictured here), so the water level gets too high and I have to turn it off.
